 We have recently read with interest a discussion, m a leading paper, as to the proper, manner for lady, particularly a married lady, b sign her name. The last writer said D, siuyely that the wife of John Smith should not write her nama Mrs. John Smith, but Mrs. Catherine B. Smith, then if her husbaud wished to subscribe himself Mfr. Catherine B. Smith let no one object. The item in Local Register, May 5. about the setting of Liatimer's orchard, has caused us to abiure all common titles until we forget that item. To correct 1t we write that these trees were set by Eli Corey. The maple and pear trees men- tioned in connection with the above item were vet on the parsonage ground.

 Numerous nervous affections spring from secret and scarcely observable causes. Tea is credited with their production in good many instances, and justly so when we con slider the fact that vas quantity of this ar. ticle of daily diet is not only colored' and adulterated before it is shipped, but IS also shipped in lead lined packages, being thus exposed to a double risk. 'Perfect Tea, J on the other hand, is not only perfectly pure article, as it's name implies but instead of being absolutely injurious Gas all colored  and invig rant of the first order as well ; while the Perfection Tea Can, in which 1t alone comes packed, is sure guarantee against the risk of ad-poisoning to which all teas packed in the ordinary manner are exposed.

 It is considered by competent judges that a pound Perfection Tea Can of MT. w. G Ellis pure Perfect Tea" will go as far as 8 pound and quarter of green tea, or un- colored tea packed in bulk of the same grade The reason of this is obvious. "Perfect Tea' has been scientifically cured by the Perfection Process, which fully develops it's aroma, strength and flavor, and is only imported in Perfection Tea Cans, which do not permit these essential properties to escape, as they do from the bulk chests when the lead lining is cut.
 There is no doubt that green teas are fast geing out of date. People are beginning to know that tea only acquires it1 green color from the Prussian blue used to coat or face" it, as it is termed Nevertheless, the mere fact of tea not being colored is no proof that it is therefore pure or of good qualit', as plumbago is frequently employed to give it the SO caiied natural face The fact that Perfect Tea" now being imported by Mr. Cans should alone be proof of it's worth.
 For fruits, nuts, figs, raisins and all ta- ble delicacies go to Ellis.

THE UNHAPPY FORT.

Tho HERALD, always entertaining
an ailectionate regard for its enter
prising neighbors at the forks of the
Trinity, notes with genuine regret
the continued unhappy fcud existing
in their municipal government Since
the day that the great and good John
Peter Smith relinquished his viglant
fatherly calc of the Forts affairs and
DR.. Broilcs assumed tic management
of the business, there has been moth
ing but ups and downs. and many
more of the latter than the former.
The trouble seems 10 be that DIR.
Broiics persists in prescribing he
roic treatment for the ills that
bcset the municipality, which is aradi"
cal departure from the Hon copathic
practice of the mild-mannercd John
Peter, which the average alderman
and policeman seem disposed to resent
as an innovation not to be tolerated.
The mayor insists that the laws must
be enforced and that the affairs of the
city must be run upon economical and
business principles, while such a poll
cy does hot accord with the free and
easy customs which, from long usage,
have become the established policy Of
the Forts officials. The latest dis
turbance eliminated yesterday. when
bill tor 1915 was allowed
by the council to Alderman
Hill "tor three days work in taking
up and rclaying a suction pipe at the
waterworks." IL is alleged that the
service was done by laborers, who
were regularly paid for their work,
and that the alderman did not soil his
lilly white hands in this grand achieve.
ment Of laying suction pipe. Hence
the mayor comes promptly TO The
front with the usual veto message, i'll
the course of which he swears by the
eternal that these disgraceful practices
must and shall stop. Meantime, the
business community is aroused and
a petition is to be circulated for sig
natures asking the entire city
government to step down aud
out aud the methods which have pre-
vailed in the affairs of the city are de-
nounccd in strong terms. At this
distance, it would seem chat the moral
support of the people should be &C
corded to the mayor, to the end that
his backbone be strengthened in his
work of establishing clean methods
and enforcing the law. Thus will our
ncighbors gain grand victory and
conquer permanent peace in their
municipal household.
